Patient's question:
Recently, my appetite has been poor, and I've also noticed some swelling in my body. I feel completely exhausted. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they said it's kidney disease. Could you please tell me what dietary precautions I should take for kidney cysts?Doctor's answer:
Patients with kidney cysts should consume a diet rich in high-quality protein, high fiber, and high vitamin foods, along with low-fat and moderate sugar intake. Avoid picky eating; a variety of foods such as whole grains, fresh vegetables and fruits, lean meat from cattle, sheep, and pigs, poultry, milk, fish, and shrimp can be eaten. Do not consume overly salty or spicy foods, and avoid industrially polluted foods. Additionally, avoid grilled meats. For those with impaired kidney function or who have experienced a recurrence of uremia, it is also important to avoid beans and their products, high-protein animal foods, and greasy foods.
